Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting
And the air smelled sweet and strange
And it seemed about a hundred years ago
VERSE:
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate,
Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky.
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago.
CHORUS:
Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles,
Living out a dream of what they was.
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
VERSE:
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
And please excuse me while I hide away.
Call me lazy bones,
Ain't got no time to waste away,
Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away.
Don't you think, don't you think,
It's just about time to hide away?
Yeah, yeah!
